Unfortunately I just have some guessed numbers in there.... I tried looking on google for horizontal and vertical sync rates for this monitor and on the definia/polaroid web page but I couldn't find them. The monitor itself prints 1360 x 768 @60Hz when it is being fired up by the PC..........
Trying to force it do 1360x768 @75Hz causes the screen to flicker etc....
Here is my xorg.conf file:
spc1-burn4-0-0-cust452:/etc/X11# more xorg.conf
# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using

If so, then it may just be a bug in the blob. One of the
